SCHWANE, JOSEPH. - Theologian, b. at Dorsten in Westphalia on 2 April 1824, d. at Münster on 6 June 1891.
A priest in 1849, a lecturer in the theological faculty of Münster in 1853, he obtained there the chair of moral theology and the history of dogmas (1859), and subsequently (1881) that of dogmatic theology.
Besides notable monographs on particular questions (Controversia de valore Baptismi haereticorum [Münster 1860]; De operibus supererogatorii et consiliis evangelicis [ibid. 1868], etc.) and the systematic work Specielle Moraltheologie (3 vols., Freiburg im Breisgau 1873 and 1878), he published the well-known and valuable Dogmengeschichte (I and II, Münster 1862-69; III and IV, Freiburg im Breisgau 1882-90), which outlines, with first-hand erudition, the development of the individual dogmatic treatises according to the four principal moments of the history of theological thought: the pre-Nicene age, the golden age of patristics, scholasticism, and the modern age.
